Aflatoxin B (AFB) contamination in food and feed is a global health and economic threat, necessitating the immediate development of effective strategies to mitigate its negative effects. This study focuses on the isolation and characterization of HB2-2 ( HB2-2) as a potent AFB-degrading microorganism, using morphological observation, biochemical profiling, and 16S rRNA sequence analysis. An incubation of HB2-2 at 32 °C for 96 h in a pH 10 nutrient broth (NB) medium resulted in a remarkable degradation rate of 90.0% for AFB. Furthermore, HB2-2 demonstrated 82.9% AFB degradation rate in the peanut meal, reducing AFB levels from 105.1 to 17.9 μg/kg. The AFB degradation ability of HB2-2 was found to be dependent on the fermentation supernatant. The products of AFB degradation by HB2-2 were analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), and a possible degradation mechanism was proposed based on the identified degradation products. Additionally, cytotoxicity assays revealed a significant reduction in the toxicity of the degradation products compared to the parent AFB. These findings highlight the potential of HB2-2 as a safe and effective method for mitigating AFB contamination in food and feed.
食品和饲料中的黄曲霉毒素B(AFB)污染是对全球健康和经济的一种威胁,因此需要立即制定有效的策略来减轻其负面影响。本研究聚焦于分离和鉴定HB2-2作为一种高效的AFB降解微生物,采用了形态学观察、生化分析和16S rRNA序列分析。HB2-2在pH值为10的营养肉汤(NB)培养基中于32°C培养96小时,对AFB的降解率高达90.0%。此外,HB2-2在花生粕中对AFB的降解率为82.9%,将AFB水平从105.1μg/kg降至17.9μg/kg。发现HB2-2的AFB降解能力依赖于发酵上清液。通过液相色谱-质谱联用(LC-MS)分析了HB2-2对AFB的降解产物,并根据鉴定出的降解产物提出了可能的降解机制。此外,细胞毒性试验表明,与母体AFB相比,降解产物的毒性显著降低。这些发现突出了HB2-2作为减轻食品和饲料中AFB污染的安全有效方法的潜力。
